Catalunya Radio reported that a €2.5 million agreement was in place to take Reis to Barcelona this summer.

However, speaking to RTV Noord, Nijland denied these claims, “Certainly there is no agreement yet, but we are seriously negotiating.”

Nijland has also dismissed the idea they could sell Reis for as little as €2.5 million, “I sometimes hear twelve to fourteen million. Well, that’s not right. But this amount is also unrealistic, we’re not going to waste players.”
